Flint MI vs Katrina

We live under simple MSM rules. In Katrina we learned that Mayors and Governors bear no responsibility -- "the fish rots from the head". Katrina was all about W.

Fast forward to the Flint Michigan water scandal, and it is ALL about the Governor! What is different? oh, wait, check the all important Republican / Democrat factor.

Something bad happened? Find an R, they are responsible!

Something good happened? Find a D, they are responsible!

In sum: The Democratic government of a Democratic city destroys that city’s finances so thoroughly that it must go into state receivership; a Democratic emergency manager signs off on a consensus plan to use a temporary water source; the municipal authorities in that Democratic city responsible for treating and monitoring drinking water fail to do their job; a state agency whose employees work under the tender attention of SEIU Local 517 fails to do its job overseeing the local authorities; Barack Obama’s EPA, having been informed about the issue, keeps mum.
